Homophonic naming method Homophonic naming method When naming children, some people like to use the homophonic naming method. But this method is not omnipotent. It is subject to two limitations: First, the limitation of the meaning of the word, that is, it must be a homophony with a better meaning. Some words can even be counterproductive, such as "Wu", "Wang", "Fei" and other words even have negative meanings, so we must pay attention to the "four modernizations" issues when naming children with homophonic names. One is elegance. Homophony should be avoided that may mislead people. Names such as: "Pangbo", in addition to the meaning of broad knowledge and erudition, also have the same pronunciation as the word "majestic", which means majestic and majestic. Wu Yue is a homologue of "Five Mountains"; Pan Feng is a homologue of "Pan Feng". It means to climb the peak; Wen Yanbo, "Yanbo" is a homologue of "Yuan Bo"; Jiang Bufan, "Jiang" is a homologue of "General", which means extraordinary in the future; Zongchen, "Zong" is a homologue of "Zhong", which means a loyal minister. Words with the same pronunciation and different shapes such as the ones above make people naturally associate them with the same pronunciation of meaningful words in the language as soon as they hear these names, making the content of the name richer. These names have good homophony and can give off a bookish atmosphere. Second, rationalization. The homophonic names must be harmonious and reasonable, and should not become "evil sounds". There are two main methods of naming with homophonic names: one is homophonic surnames, such as Liu (Liu) Qingshan, He (River) Siyuan, Zhu (Zhu) Baoting, Yu (Yu) Deshui, etc. Second, the names are homophonic, such as Ma Xin (Xin) Chun, Shi Jing (Jing) Xian, Deng Ai (Ai) Min, Kong Congzhou (Zhou), Li Gongpu (Servant), Feng Jinwen (Wen), etc. These homophones are very good. In addition, there are usually several homophonic meanings in a name, which are also established by convention, so that everyone can accept them and circulate them. For example, there are two surnames with homophonic meanings: Xue, Xue, Xue; Tan, Tan, Tan; Pan, Pan, Pan; Xin, Xin, Xin; Zhao, Zhao, Zhao; Yang, Yang, Yang; Song, Song, Song (chanting); Liu, Liu, Liu; He, He, He; Zhong, Zhong, Zhong, etc. This must be taken into consideration when using these words to create homophonic names. Third, the homophony must be interesting, but this does not mean that the naming must be vulgar. On the contrary, it should be carefully considered and not leave this possibility open. For example, the name "Yao Peiqian" was designed to mean "to cultivate the virtue of humility", but it transformed into a negative meaning of "to lose money". This is the sequelae of poor consideration, resulting in adverse consequences. When we use the homophony method to choose names. It must be carefully considered and carefully considered to avoid any negative tendencies. Some people did not have a nickname when they were young, but only had a nickname. When they grew up, they felt that the nickname was inelegant and they did not want to change it too much, so they used homophony to find one or two more elegant homophones to replace the original name. For example, the nicknames A Gou and Mao Gou will be called A Gou and Mao Gou when they grow up; for example, in Guangdong, there are many words for "Ya". It turns out that the Chinese language A and YA have the same pronunciation, and the nicknames will be "Ah" when they grow up. Yamou, this can also be regarded as a kind of elegance. Fourth, the homophony must be culturally harmonious. This is not to say that the person who named the name is really uneducated, but it refers to the indecent homophony that may have been caused unintentionally. For example, some name makers only pay attention to the meaning of the name itself, but ignore that the homophones of the name may be derogatory. For example, "Yu cut" will make people think of "fish tank". "Hou Yan" will make people think of "lararyngitis", and "Fan Wan" will make people think of "rice bowl". In addition, people with the following three surnames should be taken seriously enough, because they may be called out if they are not careful. These three characters are "Wu, Wang and Song". Let’s talk about the word “Wu” first. Care must be taken when naming the surname "Wu" because "Wu" and "Wu" are homophonic, which may lead to the opposite meaning. As we all know, most of the emperors and officials of the Ming Dynasty came from poor backgrounds, and there were indeed many names named after numbers. There is nothing worse in history than the names with homophonic names in the Ming Dynasty. "Li" is a good word, but there were two officials named "Wu Li" (rude) in the Ming Dynasty: Wu Li from Jinhua County and Wu Li, the hermit from Liaozhuang, which is really sad. A common saying that people often say is "Wu Yong, the military advisor of the Water Margin". Unexpectedly, two generations later, "rudeness" would be added. In addition, "Jin Shijuan" contains the admiral "Wude" (Wude) who was killed by his brother-in-law. Maybe you still remember Wu Faxian, the man of the hour in the late 1960s, right? This name is a homophonic pronunciation, so that a popular saying later became "Wu Faxian's younger brother—Wu (Wu) Fa Nong". During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the name of Xinle County was Xin, but the surname was Wu, so it was called Wu Xin. Originally, the surname was the surname and the given name was the given name, but the pronunciation of the homophony of Wu Xin was really bad. The homophony of Wu Xin was "untrustworthy", which means no trustworthiness and no news. You can imagine the embarrassment of being a magistrate without credibility.
The surname "Wang" can bring glory when used properly, such as the names of Wang Shifu, the author of "The Romance of the West Chamber", Wang Xizhi, the calligrapher, and Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty. But if used improperly, the word "王" will make people think of the word "death" which is homophonic. The most famous homophone case in history is Cixi's angrily demoting Wang Guodiao (homonym for "the king of the country"). Another example is that there is a child named Wang. The word "Jia" is popular in the world, so his parents named him "Jia", but it harmonizes with the meaning of "successful family" (the family is broken up and people die), which is not good. Also pay attention to the word "Song". According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty", Song Zhong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, proposed to marry the daughter of the Korean Duke Li Shanchang. At that time, Li Shanchang was lying in bed and asked her name. He replied: "Song Zhong." Li Shanchang was angry and expelled her from the house. It turns out that Song Zhong is homophonic to "send one's death". Li Shan was ill, but his son-in-law came to "send one's death", which made him angry. Within three years, Song Zhong fought with Yan Bing and died in front of the battle, which really brought his end. For example, when people hear the name "Liu Yang", they always associate it with "study abroad" which means "study abroad". In addition, names such as Liu Fang, Wei Yang, Han Yuan, Du Zida, etc., whose homophonic sounds have become unlucky words for exile, sheep feeding, injustice, and big belly; another example is the word "Yang" that is often used in names and matches "Zhang" , got the name Zhang Yang, but little did he know that the word "Zhang Yang" in common saying means frivolous, vain, and in love. Under normal circumstances, the surname and the given name are together, not separate. Therefore, we must consider the homophony of the first name together with the surname. For example, the word "xin" has a good meaning and sound, so it is very masculine when used as a name. In the early Han Dynasty, the general Han Xin defeated the Chu overlord Xiang Yu in Gaixia, and his name was just like the person he was.
